Better yet, why do you post them so that we have to see what we cannot
prevent? At least header gave fair warning that it was a link I didn't want to click on, so I didn't. I always appreciate that. It's not that I don't care, or bury my head in the sand. It's just that I see so much of that IRL that I generally don't want to read about it here. OTOH, sometimes there are letter-writing campaigns to the DA along with abuse stories and I do think maybe we *can* make a small difference in those situations. I almost always take the time to write when those stories come up. Sherry |

I guess. It's just that I come here to discuss cats with those who
love them. The mutilation cases are all over the news anyway. We can't escape them if we try. "Sherry " wrote in message ...

In article ,
enlightened us with... Better yet, why do you post them so that we have to see what we cannot prevent? What, someone MADE you click on it? And there should be no discussion over what might be done to prevent it, such as harsher laws, lobbying, contacting law reps, keeping an eye on pets, reporting abuse, etc, because it hurts you to read about it? Stories like these remind people that this stuff really does happen - a fact which is refuted many times when I try to tell people that they should keep their cats indoors because bad humans hurt cats for no reason. Too many people don't realize that this stuff happens EVERY DAY. There are many more people who lurk in this group than just the active posters who work with this and see it first-hand. ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ Jesus saves, Allah protects, and Cthulhu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace ------------------------------------------------- |

"Mary" wrote in message m... Better yet, why do you post them so that we have to see what we cannot prevent? Well, the link did show the general area where this occurred -- so that could be a warning to others in the area to be on the alert. In addition, it does add to information about risks that outdoor cats may face. MaryL (take out the litter to reply) |
